DETAILS OF THE TOURIST ATTRACTION
SZTRASZYKOWA GÓRA CAVE
The size of the cave opening attests that the local population has known about the cave for a long time. Behind the vast, rectangular entrance the chamber is gradually elevated. On the right side of the chamber there is a small hole leading to a kind of a shelf above the valley floor, which offers a beautiful view. This section of the cave is illuminated by daylight. Going further down the main corridor, after passing a low-ceiling section, we enter a few-dozen metres long and very winding corridor.
At the Ryczów village turn south and follow the yellow trail towards the Straszykowa Góra mountain. The route leads to the place whose left side consists of a tree-less slope (a few-years old overgrowing site of a fire). Go through the site (there is a wide path). Then the trail enters the forest. Continue slightly down through the ravine. You should arrive at rocks with a distinctive eave (on the right). Behind this rock, a few meters above the bottom of the ravine, there is a large rectangular opening of the cave.

Nearby
Ryczów lies in the commune of Ogrodzieniec, in the district
of Zawiercie. Among the fans of the Polish Jura, the village is
known primarily for the ruins of the local fortified
watchtower. It may have been built, like many other
buildings of this type in the Jura, by Casimir the Great, in the
fourteenth century, in order to strengthen the border of the
Polish Kingdom at that time. Though some doubt that this
king erected the stronghold.
Village Leeds was first mentioned in the year 1120. In the year 1388 Bydlin obtained city rights, which lost then in 1540.
The first Jews settled in Pilica, an old town which lies east of Zawiercie, in the sixteenth century. Before the Holocaust, they represented the vast majority in the town. In the twenty-first century, the only trace of their presence is a large cemetery located on the edge of the town. This is the other Jewish cemetery in Pilica founded in 1842. It occupies an area of approximately 1 hectare. It is fenced. 327 typical tombstones with inscriptions mostly in Hebrew have survived to this day.
The village of Smoleń lies in the Kraków-Częstochowa
Upland, on the eastern edge of Silesia, near the village
of Pilica. Smoleń is known primarily for the castle,
which, although much ruined, is one of the most
picturesque and attractive fortresses located on the
Eagles' Nests Trail. Its tower dominating over the forest
is the landmark of the local landscape. The castle is
situated with the area of the nature reserve also called
Smoleń.
Ryczów leży w gminie Ogrodzieniec, w powiecie zawierciańskim. Wśród miłośników Jury Krakowsko-Częstochowskiej wieś znana jest przede wszystkim dzięki ruinom tutejszej budowli warownej. Strażnica w Ryczowie zbudowana została zapewne, jak wiele innych obiektów tego typu na Jurze, w XIV w. w ramach umocnienia ówczesnej granicy Królestwa Polskiego przez Kazimierza Wielkiego - choć niektórzy mają wątpliwości, czy istotnie wzniesienie budowli należy wiązać z osobą tego króla.
